We’ve Got Your Back: Mentorships

WordCamp London welcomes all types of applicants and we want to encourage you to speak even if it’s your first time and you’re terrified; we’ve got your back and we’ve been there! We’re also friends with super sound people who’ve been there as well and who are willing to provide supportive, constructive and progressive mentoring throughout your experience.

Don’t hesitate to apply if you know you’ve got a great topic other WordPress enthusiasts will be interested in hearing about; your mentor will be prepared to give you the coaching you need to ensure your session rocks.

Please note, mentoring is not compulsory so don’t hesitate to let us know if you think you’ve already got what it takes to hit the stage running.
